Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
Current biennium revenue increase - Victim’s Compensation Fund Current biennium revenue increase - Victim’s Property Compensation Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill prohibits a deceased victim's restitution from being paid to an offender if the offender is a recipient of funds from the victim's estate.  If a victim's estate has only the offender as a recipient of funds, the restitution must be paid to the Victims' Compensation Fund or the Victims' Property Compensation Fund, increasing total revenues to each of these accounts. The increase to the two accounts will depend on the number of times this situation occurs and the amounts involved and no estimate is made at this time.
